GoPro, Inc.Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Summary of business and significant accounting policiesGoPro, Inc. (GoPro or the Company) makes mountable and wearable cameras and accessories. The Company’s products are sold globally throughretailers, wholesale distributors and on the Company’s website. The Company's global corporate headquarters are located in San Mateo, California.
Basis of presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S.generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company's fiscal year ends on December 31, and its fiscal quarters end on March 31,June 30, and September 30. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which are normal and recurring in nature) thatmanagement believes are necessary for the fair presentation of its financial statements, but are not necessarily indicative of the results expected forthe full fiscal year or any other future period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 has been derived from the auditedfinancial statements at that date, but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read inconjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (Annual Report) for the year ended December 31, 2015 . There have been nosignificant changes in the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in its Annual Report.
Principles of consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly-ownedsubsidiaries. Unless otherwise specified, references to the Company are references to GoPro, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Allintercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions thataffect the amounts reported and disclosed in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significantestimates and assumptions made by management include those related to: revenue recognition (including sales returns, web-based sale deliveriesat period-end, implied post contract support and marketing allowances), stock-based compensation, inventory valuation, product warranty liabilities,the valuation and useful lives of long-lived assets (property and equipment, goodwill and intangibles) and income taxes. The Company bases itsestimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, theresults of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from othersources. Actual results could differ materially from management's estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates andthe actual results, future results of operations could be affected.
Comprehensive income. For all periods presented, comprehensive income approximated net income. Therefore, the condensed consolidatedstatements of comprehensive income have been omitted from the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Prior period reclassifications. Reclassifications of certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have beenmade to conform to the current period presentation.

Recent accounting pronouncements
Standard Description Date ofadoption
Effect on the financial statements orother significant matters
Standardsthatarenotyetadopted Accounting Standards Update(ASU) 2014-09, Revenue fromContracts with Customers (Topic606)
This standard is based on principles that govern the recognitionof revenue at an amount to which an entity expects to beentitled when products and services are transferred tocustomers. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effectivedate by one year while providing the option to adopt thestandard on the original effective date of January 1, 2017. InMarch 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance regardingprincipal versus agent considerations in the accounting ofrevenue. The standard may be adopted either retrospectivelyto each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulativeeffect adjustment as of the date of adoption.
January 1,2018
The Company is currently evaluatingthe impact the adoption of thisstandard will have on its consolidatedfinancial statements and relateddisclosures.
ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic842)
This standard requires lessees to put most leases on theirbalance sheets but recognize the expenses on their incomestatements in a manner similar to current practice. Lesseeswould recognize a right-to-use asset and lease liability for allleases with terms of more than 12 months. Recognition,measurement and presentation of expenses will depend onclassification as a finance or operating lease. The newstandard should be applied on a modified retrospective basis.
January 1,2019
The Company is beginning to evaluatethe impact that the adoption of thisstandard will have on its consolidatedfinancial statements.
ASU No. 2016-09, StockCompensation (Topic 718)
This standard requires income tax effects of awards to berecognized in the income statement when the awards vest orare settled, allowing an employer to repurchase more of anemployee’s shares for tax withholding purposes withouttriggering liability accounting, and to make a policy election toaccount for forfeitures as they occur. Early adoption ispermitted for an entity in any interim or annual period. If anentity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, anyadjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of thefiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that electsearly adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the sameperiod.
January 1,2017
The Company is beginning to evaluatethe impact that the adoption of thisstandard will have on its consolidatedfinancial statements.
Standardsthatwereadopted ASU No. 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15, Interest - Imputation of Interest(Subtopic 835-30)
ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs be presented inthe balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carryingamount of the related debt liability, consistent with debtdiscounts.
ASU 2015-15 was issued to provide clarification to ASU 2015-03 in that fees related to line-of-credit arrangements shouldcontinue to be presented as an asset and subsequentlyamortized ratably over the term of the line-of-creditarrangement.
January 1,2016
The adoption of this standard did nothave a material impact on theconsolidated financial statements. AtMarch 31, 2016, the Companypresented debt issuance costs of $3.3million related to its secured revolvingcredit facility as an asset on itsconsolidated balance sheet.

2. AcquisitionsOn March 9, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of a privately-held mobile editing application company for cash consideration ofapproximately $45 million . The preliminary purchase price allocation primarily included approximately $7.3 million of identifiable intangible assetsand approximately $37.5 million of residual goodwill, based on the best estimates of management. Changes to amounts recorded as assets orliabilities resulting from finalizing the purchase price allocation may result in a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. Goodwill is primarily attributableto expected synergies in the technologies that can be leveraged by the Company in future software offerings. Goodwill is not expected to bedeductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The operating results of the acquired company have been included in the Company's consolidated financialstatements for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from the date of acquisition.
On April 11, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of a privately-held mobile editing application company for cash consideration ofapproximately $59 million . The Company is currently determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed necessary to develop thepurchase price allocation. The Company expects to provide disclosure of the purchase price allocation in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for thesecond quarter of 2016.
The acquired companies are headquartered in Austin, Texas and Paris, France. In addition to the amounts above, aggregate deferred cash andstock compensation of up to approximately $37 million is payable to certain continuing employees subject to specified future employment conditions.This amount is expected to be recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service periods of up to four years from the respectiveacquisition dates.
Actual and pro forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been presented because they do not have a material impact to theCompany's consolidated results of operations, either individually or in aggregate.
3. Fair value measurementsThe Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level, within the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows:
March 31, 2016 December 31, 2015(in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Total Level 1 Level 2 Total
Total marketable securities $ — $ 139,951 $ 139,951 $ — $ 194,386 $ 194,386(1) Included in “cash and cash equivalents” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . Cash balances were $191.9 million and $228.6 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively.
Cash equivalents and marketable securities are classified as Level 1 or Level 2 because the Company uses quoted market prices or alternativepricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs to determine their fair value. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, theCompany had no financial assets or liabilities that were classified as Level 3, which are valued based on inputs supported by little or no marketactivity. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company had no transfers of financial assets between levels.

GoPro, Inc.Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
5. Financing ArrangementsIn March 2016, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, WellsFargo Bank, National Association, as co-agent, and the lender parties thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit facility(Credit Facility) under which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate of $250 million and the Company and lenders may increase the totalcommitments under the Credit Facility to up to $300 million , subject to certain conditions. The Credit Facility will terminate, and all outstandingborrowings become due and payable, in March 2021.
The amount that may be borrowed under the Credit Facility is based upon a borrowing base formula with respect to the Company’s inventory andaccounts receivable balances. Borrowed funds accrue interest, at the Company’s election, based on an annual rate of (a) London Interbank OfferedRate (LIBOR) or (b) the administrative agent’s base rate, plus an applicable margin of between 1.50% and 2.00% for LIBOR rate loans, and between0.50% and 1.00% for base rate loans, depending on the level of utilization of the Credit Facility. The Company is required to pay a commitment feeon the unused portion of the Credit Facility of 0.25% or 0.375% per annum, based on the level of utilization of the Credit Facility. Amounts owingunder the Credit Agreement and related credit documents are guaranteed by the Company and its material subsidiaries. The Company and its U.S.,Cayman and Netherlands subsidiaries have also granted security interests in substantially all of their assets to collateralize these obligations.
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, such as financial statement reporting requirements and delivery of borrowing basecertificates, as well as customary covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, pay dividends, incurdebt, create liens and encumbrances, make investments and redeem or repurchase stock. The Company is required to maintain a minimum fixedcharge coverage ratio if and when the unborrowed availability under the Credit Facility is less than the greater of $25.0 million or 10.0% of theborrowing base at such time. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, such as the failure to pay obligations when due, initiationof bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, defaults on certain other indebtedness, change of control or breach of representations and warranties orcovenants. Upon an event of default, the lenders may, subject to customary cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstandingand foreclose on collateral.
No borrowings have been made from the Credit Facility to date. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenantscontained in the Credit Agreement.

Stock-based compensation expense
The Company measures compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards, including stock options, RSUs, and purchases under theCompany's ESPP, based on the estimated fair values on the date of the grant. The fair value of stock options granted and purchases under theCompany's ESPP is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of RSUs is determined using the Company's stock priceon the date of grant. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s valuation assumptions for measuring compensation expense fromthose disclosed in the footnotes to the audited financial statements contained in its 2015 Annual Report.
The following table summarizes stock-based compensation included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations:

At March 31, 2016 , there was $172.9 million of unearned stock-based compensation related to the stock options, RSUs and ESPP, which isexpected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.0 years.
8. Net income (loss) per shareBasic net income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during theperiod. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, includingall potentially dilutive common shares.
The rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. Each share of Class Acommon stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share. Each share of Class Bcommon stock is convertible at any time at the option of the stockholder into one share of Class A common stock and has no expiration date. Eachshare of Class B common stock will convert automatically into one share of Class A common stock upon the date when the outstanding shares ofClass B common stock represent less than 10% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock then outstanding. Class A common stock isnot convertible into Class B common stock.
Undistributed earnings are allocated based on the contractual participation rights of Class A and Class B as if the earnings for the year have beendistributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis. The computation ofthe diluted net income per share of Class A common stock assumes the conversion of Class B common stock.

Diluted $ (0.78) $ 0.11
The following potentially dilutive shares were not included in the calculation of diluted shares outstanding as the effect would have been anti-dilutive:
9. Income taxesThe Company's tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising inthat quarter. In each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual tax rate changes, acumulative adjustment is made in that quarter.
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $14.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 due to a pre-tax net loss, which resultedin an effective tax rate of 11.7% . The Company's lower effective tax rate for 2016 compared to 2015 resulted from incurring a higher proportion of itsfirst quarter 2016 net loss in foreign jurisdictions that provide little or no tax benefit and a tax benefit from restructuring charges in the first quarter of2016. The Company's provision for income taxes in each period has differed from the tax computed at U.S. federal statutory tax rates due to statetaxes, the effect of non-U.S. operations, deductible and non-deductible stock-based compensation expense, and adjustments to unrecognized taxbenefits.
The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2012 through 2014 tax years and California Franchise TaxBoard for the 2011 and 2012 tax years. At this time, the Company is not able to estimate
15
GoPro, Inc.Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
the potential impact that the examination may have on income tax expense. If the examinations are resolved unfavorably, there is a possibility it mayhave a material negative impact on the Company's results of operations.
At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits was $45.4 million and $36.3 million , respectively. Ifrecognized, $31.1 million of these unrecognized tax benefits (net of federal benefit) at March 31, 2016 would be recorded as a reduction of futureincome tax provision. It is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase within the next 12months. However, the range of the reasonably possible change cannot be reliably estimated.
10. Related partiesThe Company has agreements for certain contract manufacturing and engineering services with a vendor affiliated with one of the Company'sinvestors. The Company recorded no expense in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 for services rendered. As of March 31, 2016and December 31, 2015 , the Company had no accounts payable associated with this vendor.
The Company incurs costs for company-related chartered aircraft fees for the use of the CEO’s private plane. The Company recorded expense of$0.3 million and $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , theCompany had accounts payable associated with this vendor of $0.3 million and $0.1 million , respectively.
In 2013, the Company entered into a three -year agreement, which was amended in August 2015, with a company affiliated with the son of one ofthe members of the Company's board of directors to acquire certain naming rights to a kart racing facility. As consideration for these naming rights,the Company would pay a total of $0.5 million over the three year period. As of March 31, 2016 , the Company has recorded cumulative expense of$0.5 million , and has also provided 100 GoPro cameras at no cost each year.
See Notes 6 and 7 above for information regarding CEO RSUs and common stock contributed by the CEO back to the Company.

11. Commitments, contingencies and guaranteesFacility Leases
The Company leases its facilities under long-term operating leases, which expire at various dates through 2027. As of December 31, 2015, theCompany’s total future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases were $152.2 million . The Company has not entered intoany new material lease commitments during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Rent expense was $5.4 million and $2.4 million for the threemonths ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.
Other Commitments
In the ordinary course of business, the Company also enters into multi-year agreements to purchase sponsorships with event organizers, resortsand athletes as part of its marketing efforts; software licenses related to its financial and IT systems; manufacturing equipment for tooling and molds;and various other contractual commitments. As of December 31, 2015, the Company’s undiscounted future expected obligations under theseagreements were $28.8 million . During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company entered into new agreements, primarily related tosoftware licenses that resulted in additional total commitments of approximately $5 million over the next several years .
Legal proceedings
From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including the litigation matters described in PartII, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Due to inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimateoutcome of these matters. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of the litigation would have a material impact onthe results of operations, financial condition or cash flows of the Company.
Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide forgeneral indemnification. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against theCompany in the future, but have not yet been made. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnificationagreements due to the Company’s limited history with indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particularagreement. As of March 31, 2016 , the Company has not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to its indemnificationobligations. However, the Company may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnification obligations.

12. Concentrations of risk and geographic information
Customer concentration
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade receivables. The Companybelieves that credit risk in its accounts receivable is mitigated by the Company’s credit evaluation process, relatively short collection terms anddispersion of its customer base. The Company generally does not require collateral and losses on trade receivables have historically been withinmanagement’s expectations.
Customers who represented 10% or more of the Company's net accounts receivable balance were as follows:
March 31,
2016 December 31,
2015Customer A 36% 40%Customer B 23% *Customer C 14% *
Customer D * 18%
* Less than 10% of total accounts receivable for the period indicated
The following table summarizes the Company's accounts receivables sold, without recourse, and factoring fees paid:

Supplier concentration
The Company relies on third parties for the supply and manufacture of its cameras and accessories, some of which are sole-source suppliers. TheCompany believes that outsourcing manufacturing enables greater scale and flexibility. As demand and product lines change, the Companyperiodically evaluates the need and advisability of adding manufacturers to support its operations. In instances where a supply and manufactureagreement does not exist or suppliers fail to perform their obligations, the Company may be unable to find alternative suppliers or satisfactorilydeliver its products to its customers on time, if at all. The Company also relies on third parties with whom it outsources supply chain activities relatedto inventory warehousing, order fulfillment, distribution and other direct sales logistics .

Reconciliations of non-GAAP adjusted measures are presented under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.
First quarter 2016 and recent highlights
First quarter 2016 revenue of $183.5 million , down 49% year-over-year, reflected global sell-in that was seasonally lower than the prior year and thelack of a major new product launch in the fourth quarter of 2015. Gross margin of 32.5% and operating loss of $121.4 million was negativelyimpacted by costs related to legacy HERO products of approximately $8 million and lower units shipped year-over-year. Operating loss also reflectsyear-over-year growth in operating expenses that was primarily attributable to an approximately $17 million increase in cash-based personnel-related expenses (excluding restructuring plan expenses detailed below), resulting from an approximate 38% growth in our global headcount, as wellas higher advertising and promotional activity costs of $10.6 million. See "Results of Operations" below for additional information.
In January 2016, we adopted a restructuring plan designed to better align our resources to key growth initiatives and reduced our global workforceby approximately 7%. Expenses associated with our restructuring plan of $6.5 million primarily included cash-based severance costs, with no similaractivity in the prior year. We intend to reinvest savings related to the restructuring into our most important priorities to drive future revenue growth. AtMarch 31, 2016, we had substantially completed our restructuring plan.
We used cash in operations of $33.3 million in the first quarter 2016 and ended the quarter with cash and investments of $388.7 million , down 22%from December 31, 2015. In March 2016, we entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks that provides for a secured revolving creditfacility under which we may borrow up to an aggregate of $250 million and, subject to certain conditions, the total commitments may be increased toup to $300 million . No borrowings have been made from the credit facility to date.
We recently completed acquisitions of two mobile editing application companies in March and April 2016 for cash consideration of approximately $45million and $59 million, respectively, to enhance our future software offerings. These companies' mobile applications enable editing ranging fromhigh quality automatically created edits to advanced manual edits for both existing GoPro customers and smartphone users who may be fans of ourbrand but have yet to purchase a GoPro product or benefit from a GoPro content-enabling solution.

GoPro, Inc.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Looking Ahead
We expect revenue to grow sequentially each quarter with the majority of our annual revenue to be recognized in the second half of the year. Whilegross margin will fluctuate in future periods based on product, distributor and geographical mix and volume, we expect the first quarter of 2016 torepresent the low point for the year. We expect total operating expenses will grow sequentially throughout the year, with a majority of this growthoccurring in research and development. Our research and development is primarily being invested in the development of next generation camerasand drone-related products, as well as our software and entertainment initiatives. We also expect to increase our marketing expenditures to improveworldwide brand awareness, support the launch of our next generation cameras and drone-related products, software products and services andstimulate consumer demand during the holiday season.
Factors affecting performance
We believe that our future success will be dependent on many factors, including those further discussed below. While these areas representopportunities for us, they also represent challenges and risks that we must successfully address in order to continue the growth of our business andimprove our results of operations.
Investinginresearchanddevelopment.We believe that our performance is significantly dependent on the investments we make in research anddevelopment and that we must continually develop and introduce innovative new products, enhance existing products and effectively stimulatecustomer demand for existing and future products. If we fail to innovate and enhance our product offerings, our brand, market position and revenuemay be adversely affected. Further, if our research and development efforts are not successful, we will not recover the investments that we make inthis aspect of our business. In 2016, we plan to release our first product for the consumer drone market, launch our next-generation HERO5cameras, expand our software and services offerings and invest in our entertainment business.
Expandingourtotaladdressablemarketandgrowinginternationally.Our long-term growth will depend in part on our ability to expand our consumerbase and our presence in international markets. We intend to broaden our user base to include a more diverse group of consumers by providingboth innovative and easy-to-use cameras as well as offering intuitive and simple software tools that enable the seamless and easy sharing ofcontent. We recently acquired two mobile video editing application companies that complement our strategy of enabling content managing, editingand sharing across platforms. We plan to increase our presence globally through the active promotion of our brand, the formation of strategicpartnerships, the introduction of new products and the growth of our international sales channel.
Investinginsalesandmarketing. We intend to continue investing significant resources in our marketing, advertising and brand management efforts.We believe consumers in many emerging markets are not familiar with our brand and products and believe there is a significant opportunity forGoPro to expand awareness through increased marketing efforts. Sales and marketing investments will often occur in advance of any sales benefitsfrom these activities, and it may be difficult for us to determine if we are efficiently allocating our resources in this area.
Leveraging software, services, andentertainment content.We intend to continue to increase our investment in the development of software andservices, as well as entertainment related initiatives. We believe we have significant opportunities to establish new revenue streams from thesesoftware, services and entertainment investments. However, we do not have significant experience deriving revenue from the distribution of GoProcontent or software, and we cannot be assured that these ongoing investments, which will occur before any material revenue contribution isreceived, will result in increased revenue or profitability.
Seasonality. Historically, we have experienced the highest levels of revenue in the fourth quarter of the year, coinciding with the holiday shoppingseason in the United States and Europe. Timely and effective product introductions and forecasting, whether just prior to the holiday season orotherwise, are critical to our operations and financial performance.

Revenue
Three Months Ended March 31, (in thousands) 2016 2015 % ChangeUnits shipped 701 1,342 (48)%
The year-over-year decrease in revenue and units shipped during the first quarter of 2016 compared to 2015 was driven by global sell-in that wasseasonally lower than the prior year to enable our global channel partners to reduce their inventories, coupled with the lack of a major new productlaunch in the fourth quarter of 2015. In addition, our revenue in the first quarter of 2015 benefited from the introduction of our HERO4 Black andSilver cameras preceding the 2014 holiday season, primarily in Europe and Asia.
23
GoPro, Inc.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
First quarter 2016 results reflected estimated global unit sell-thru that exceeded global unit sell-in by approximately 50%. In the second quarter, weexpect channel sell-thru will continue to be higher than sell-in enabling our global channels to further reduce inventory ahead of new productlaunches.
Regionally, the Americas was strongest and made up approximately 46% of first quarter 2016 revenue followed by EMEA at 33% and APAC at 21%.The year-over-year increase in APAC revenue as a percentage of total revenue reflects the expansion of our business and distribution network inthe Asia Pacific region. Our direct and distribution sales channels accounted for 46% and 54% of first quarter 2016 revenue, respectively, flat year-over-year as a percentage of revenue. The average selling price of units shipped, defined as total revenue divided by camera unit shipments,decreased approximately 3% year-over-year due primarily to slightly higher costs for our marketing development fund program.
Cost of revenue and gross margin
Three Months Ended March 31, (dollars in thousands) 2016 2015 % ChangeCost of revenue $ 122,879 $ 198,871 (38)%Stock-based compensation 357 283 26 %Acquisition-related costs 222 222 — %Restructuring costs 364 — N/A
Gross margin decreased by 1,260 bps in the first quarter of 2016 compared with the first quarter of 2015. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2016was impacted by charges related to legacy products of approximately $8 million (380 bps) for excess purchase commitments, inventory write-downsand marketing development funds. These charges resulted from lower sales estimates for our end-of-life HERO products. In addition, the year-over-year decrease in gross margin was attributable to the allocation of fixed overhead costs across less units shipped in 2016 and sales mix. We do nothave further material financial exposure remaining from either purchase commitments or our inventory related to our end-of-life HERO camera line.The year-over-year effect of stock-based compensation, acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs on gross margin was insignificant.

The year-over-year growth of $27.5 million in research and development expense in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 2015 was primarilyattributable to higher cash-based personnel-related costs of $10.8 million , resulting from a 49% growth in global headcount from March 31, 2015 toMarch 31, 2016 , as well as increases in material and equipment costs of $4.4 million , increases in allocated facilities, depreciation and othersupporting overhead expenses of $4.4 million and increases in consulting and outside professional service costs of $4.0 million . The growth in R&Dexpense in absolute terms, and as a percentage of revenue, was primarily driven by investments to

Stock-based compensation increased $2.5 million in 2016 due to higher employee headcount. Acquisition-related costs increased $1.2 million due tointangible asset amortization associated with acquisitions completed during the second and third quarters of 2015. Restructuring costs of $2.7 millionincluded severance-related costs resulting from our January 2016 global workforce reduction.

The year-over-year growth of $23.1 million in sales and marketing expense in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily attributable tohigher advertising and promotional activity costs of $10.6 million associated with expanded branding and product marketing efforts that began duringthe fourth quarter of 2015, as well as increases in cash-based personnel-related costs of $6.0 million , resulting from a 33% growth in globalheadcount from March 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016 , and increases in allocated facilities, depreciation and other supporting overhead expenses of$2.6 million .

The year-over-year decrease of $10.9 million in general and administrative expense in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 2015 was primarilyattributable to a decrease in stock-based compensation of $13.5 million , partially offset by increases in consulting and outside professional servicecosts of $1.3 million . The decrease in stock-based compensation was due to the timing of expense recognition attributable to CEO RSUs.

GoPro, Inc.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
We recorded an income tax benefit of $14.3 million for the first quarter of 2016 due to a pre-tax net loss, which resulted in an effective tax rate of11.7% . Our lower effective tax rate for 2016 compared to 2015 resulted from incurring a higher proportion of our first quarter 2016 net loss in foreignjurisdictions that provide little or no tax benefit and a tax benefit from restructuring charges in the first quarter of 2016. Our provision for income taxesin each period has differed from the tax computed at U.S. federal statutory tax rates due to state taxes, the effect of non-U.S. operations, deductibleand non-deductible stock-based compensation expense, and adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits.
Liquidity and Capital ResourcesThe following table presents selected financial information as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:
Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities $ 388,668 $ 474,058
Percentage of total assets 42% 43%
Our operations have been financed primarily through cash flow from operating activities and the net proceeds from the issuance of our equitysecurities. As of March 31, 2016 , $140.6 million of cash was held by our foreign subsidiaries, a portion of which was used in April 2016 to fund theacquisition of a mobile editing application company. We do not presently intend to repatriate the remainder of these funds, if any, for use in ourdomestic operations, but if we were to do so, any such repatriated cash and cash equivalents could be subject to U.S. income taxes.
We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet ourworking capital needs, capital expenditures, outstanding commitments, and other liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months and theforeseeable future.
In March 2016, we entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks that provides for a secured revolving credit facility under which we mayborrow up to an aggregate of $250 million and, subject to certain conditions, the total commitments may be increased to up to $300 million . Theamount that may be borrowed under the credit facility is based upon a borrowing base formula with respect to our inventory and accounts receivablebalances. As of March 31, 2016, the borrowing base available to the Company under the credit facility was approximately $86 million. We currentlyhave no outstanding borrowings. However, in the future, we may require additional capital to respond to business opportunities, challenges,acquisitions or unforeseen circumstances. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing under our credit facility, or alternative sources, when werequire it, our ability to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited. (See Note 5 to the Notes toCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for additional information.)
Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenuegrowth, the timing and extent of spending on research and development efforts and other business initiatives, the expansion of sales and marketingactivities, the timing of new product introductions, market acceptance of our products, and overall economic conditions. We have completedacquisitions in the past and we expect to evaluate additional possible acquisitions of, or strategic investments in, businesses, products, andtechnologies that are complementary to our business, which may require the use of cash. For example, we recently acquired two mobile editingapplication companies for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $104 million to further enhance our future software offerings. (See Note 2to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for additional information.)
To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we maybe required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raiseit on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Summary of Cash FlowsThe following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:
Cash used by operating activities of $33.3 million in the first quarter of 2016 was comprised of a $107.5 million net loss, non-cash adjustments to netloss of $13.8 million (including stock-based compensation expense of $15.7 million ), and net cash inflow of $60.4 million from operating assets andliabilities. Cash inflow related to operating assets and liabilities consisted of net collections in accounts receivable of $99.4 million , reflectingseasonally lower sales, and lower inventory of $48.5 million , reflecting decreased procurement activity, partially offset by decreases in accountspayable and other liabilities of $ 84.0 million due to the pay-out of 2015 liabilities. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities of $99.5million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily due to our net loss of $107.5 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to netincome of $16.8 million for the first quarter of 2015.
Cash flows from investing activities
Our primary investing activities normally consist of purchases and sales of marketable securities, business acquisitions, and purchases of propertyand equipment. Cash provided by investing activities was $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2016 resulting from net maturities and sales ofmarketable securities of $54.2 million , offset by $45.0 million in net cash used for acquisitions and $8.2 million for net purchases of property andequipment. Cash used in investing activities was $77.2 million during the first quarter of 2015 resulting from $79.4 million for purchases ofmarketable securities, $5.2 million for purchases of property and equipment, and $5.1 million for a business acquisition, partially offset by $12.5million for net sales and maturities of marketable securities.
In April 2016, upon closing of our second acquisition of a mobile editing application company, we used approximately $59 million of our cash andcash equivalent balance for the purchase consideration.
Cash flows from financing activities
Our primary financing activities consisted of issuances of securities under our common stock plans. Cash provided by financing activities was $1.4million in the first quarter of 2016 resulting primarily from $4.1 million in net proceeds received from stock purchases made through our ESPP andemployee stock option exercises, as well as $0.7 million of excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation, partially offset by payments of$3.1 million for costs incurred to secure our new credit facility. Cash provided by financing activities was $16.2 million during the first quarter of 2015resulting from $12.3 million in proceeds received from employee stock option exercises and stock purchases made through our ESPP, as well as$6.1 million of excess tax benefit from stock award activities.
Contractual Commitments
Contractual obligations
See Note 11 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for discussion of our facility leasesand other contractual commitments. In addition, as of March 31, 2016 , we recorded accrued liabilities for certain purchase commitments withcontract manufacturers for quantities in excess of our future demand forecasts. (See Accrued Liabilities in Note 4 to the Notes to CondensedConsolidated Financial Statements of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.)

Off-balance sheet arrangements
During the periods presented, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structuredfinance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or othercontractually narrow or limited purposes.
Indemnifications
We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers which require us to indemnify our directors and executiveofficers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service. In addition, in the normal course of business, we enter into agreementsthat contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnification. It is not possible to determine the maximumpotential amount under these indemnification agreements due to our limited history with prior indemnification claims and the unique facts andcircumstances involved in each particular agreement. To date, the payments we have made under these agreements have not had a material effecton our operating results, financial position or cash flows. However, we may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnificationagreements.
Critical Accounting Policies and EstimatesThere have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates, during the first quarter of 2016, from those disclosed in ourAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 .Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresIn addition to the measures presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements, we use the following non-GAAP financial metrics toevaluate our business, measure our performance, develop financial forecasts, and make strategic decisions.

Non-GAAP net income (loss) $ (86,740) $ 35,619
Non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share $ (0.63) $ 0.24
We use the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share to help usunderstand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget, and to develop short-term andlong-term operational plans. We believe that these measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating ouroperating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance withGAAP, and are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in thatthey do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitationsare:
• These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain recurring, non-cash charges such as stock-based compensation and amortization ofacquired intangible assets;
• adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that reduce cash available to us ;
• adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization and, although these are non-cash charges, the assets, including POP displays,being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirementsfor such replacements; and
• other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparativemeasures.
Because of these limitations, you should consider adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per sharealongside other financial performance measures, including our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal ProceedingsBeginning on January 13, 2016, the first of four purported shareholder class action lawsuits was filed in the United States District Court for theNorthern District of California against the Company and certain of our officers. Similar complaints were filed on January 21, 2016, February 4, 2016and February 19, 2016. Each of the complaints purports to bring suit on behalf of shareholders who purchased our publicly traded securitiesbetween July 21, 2015 and January 13, 2016 for the first three complaints and between November 26, 2014 and January 13, 2016 for the last filedcomplaint. Each complaint purports to allege that defendants made false and misleading statements about our business, operations and prospectsin violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and each seeks unspecified compensatory damages, fees andcosts. On April 21, 2016, the court consolidated the complaints and appointed lead plaintiff and lead counsel for the first three actions (the “ CamiaInvestmentsClassAction”); the court allowed the fourth action to proceed separately as to the period November 26, 2014 through July 20, 2015(the “ MajestyPalmsClassAction”) and appointed lead plaintiff and lead counsel for that action. Amended complaints are expected to be filed byJune 21, 2016.
On January 25, 2016, a purported shareholder class action lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo,against the Company, certain of our current and former directors and executive officers and underwriters of our IPO.

We are currently and in the future may continue to be subject to litigation, claims and assertions incidental to our business, including patentinfringement litigation and product liability claims, as well as other litigation of a non-material nature in the ordinary course of business. Due toinherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of these matters. We are unable at this time to determinewhether the outcome of the litigation would have a material impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Without limiting the generality ofthe foregoing, each Grantor agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the AdministrativeAgent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part ofthe Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for futuredelivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized at any such sale ofsecurities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agreethat they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof,and upon consummation of any such sale the Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to thepurchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold.

Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place orplaces as the Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, but only during thecontinuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separateparcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in

its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if itshall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The AdministrativeAgent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time byannouncement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to whichthe same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateralso sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but theAdministrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail totake up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice.

For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof that is entered into during thecontinuance of an Event of Default shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Administrative Agent shall be free to carry out such salepursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto,notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shallhave been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred uponit, the Administrative Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral orany portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceedingby a court‑appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to thecommercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9‑610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of anEvent of Default, each Grantor further agrees to cooperate with the Administrative Agent in any attempt to prosecute or maintain theIntellectual Property or sue for infringement of the Intellectual Property. The use of such license by the Administrative Agent may beexercised, at the option of the Administrative Agent, only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default;provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith shall bebinding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default. Each Grantor irrevocably agrees that, uponthe occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may sell any of such Grantor’sInventory directly to any Person, including Persons that have previously purchased the Grantor’s Inventory from such Grantor, andin connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Agreement, may sell Inventorythat bears any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and any Inventory that is covered by any Copyright owned by orlicensed to such Grantor, and the Administrative Agent may finish any work in process and affix any Trademark owned by orlicensed to such Grantor and sell such Inventory as provided herein.
SECTION 4.04. Securities Act. In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the Pledged Collateral, orbecause of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933 as now or hereafter in effector any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time ineffect being called the “ Federal Securities Laws ”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder.Each Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of theAdministrative Agent if the Administrative Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and mightalso limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same.Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Administrative Agent in any attempt to dispose of all orpart of the Pledged Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect.Each Grantor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Administrative Agent may, with respect to any sale ofthe Pledged Collateral, and shall be authorized to, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire suchPledged Collateral for their own account for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, and uponconsummation of any such sale may assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Pledged Collateral so sold.Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Administrative Agent, in its sole andabsolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering suchPledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws or, to the extent applicable, Blue Sky orother state securities laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a limited number of potential purchasers (including a singlepotential purchaser) to effect such sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and otherterms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, theAdministrative Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that theAdministrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances,notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until afterregistration as aforesaid or if more than a limited number of potential purchasers (or a single purchaser) were approached. Theprovisions of this Section 4.04
Exhibit K
will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceedsubstantially the price at which the Administrative Agent sells.
